The Cold

I think of this freezing cold weather and my dad lying outside for eternity.

I hope there is no cold in death.

Invaluable Items

A plastic mixing bowl, an old ratty sweatshirt and a pair of snow boots are just some of the items saved from my parents and my in-laws.  Monetarily they are worth nothing.  In my heart, everything. Food mixed in the bowl tastes better.  I am warmer in my dad's old rag and my feet stay dryer in these boots.

Another Death

My sister-in-law passed away this morning.  We are with my niece helping her decide what to do.

I can't bring myself to make phone calls.  Probably going to do a cremation and a memorial service.

It is hard.
